* If you are preparing to start college or are currently finishing up your degree, there are a few things that you should know about the Republican ticket of Romney-Ryan----
In Paul Ryan's budget, he make cuts to areas that are important to college students and their parents, as noted in this ThinkProgress post:
.....According to an analysis by the Education Trust that was provided to
the Huffington Post, the House Republican budget would ultimately knock more than one million students off of Pell Grants entirely:
More than 1 million students would lose Pell grants entirely over the next 10 years under Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget, according to an analysis that the national reform organization Education Trust provided to The Huffington Post....
How can we forget that Romney advised college students to "...borrow money from their parents....." From Melissa Harris-Perry's program, we have the following video: (YouTube)
Those of you that live in central Ohio, should be concerned about the Republican candidates. Sending someone like Rep. Pat Tiberi (OH-12) back to the House of Representatives is a ridiculous action. Tiberi and his right wing Republicans have done nothing but sit on their rear ends trying to protect bankers, and millionaires. We cannot support Pat Tiberi because he does nothing but follow orders from the extreme right wing of his party. Stop the gridlock in Washington and move away from the extremists of the Republican Tea Party.
******* Republican Josh Mandel Received his 6th Pants on Fire *******
Ohio's absent Treasurer, Josh Mandel, is a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate. Mandel, has made another statement in his political ad that has been called his 6th Pants on Fire by Ohio Politifact.
....The ad claims Brown sent billions of dollars to foreign countries. The
information that the ad uses to back up that claim, that Brown voted for
the stimulus bill, has been proven false. Brown did not make decisions
on how that money would be spent, and he was one of the senators who
called for its suspension after the foreign grants were reported.
When confronted with those facts, the Mandel campaign offered as support for its claim that Brown votes for appropriations for U.S. foreign operations. That's the money for embassies, war-related spending to help establish new governments and the U.S. portions of international missions. That's a ridiculous stretch from what the ad implies, which is that Brown tried to hide that he irresponsibly sent billions or our tax dollars to foreign countries.
We have a rating for statements that are both false and ridiculous. It's Pants on Fire.

OMG! Josh Mandel would lie and go to any lengths to get elected. Shame.
• Support President Obama, and vote for Democrats to get things moving again. We've got to protect our seniors, the futures of a college students, and those who've fallen on hard times. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan don't even care about you, unless you are a millionaire.
